BOP Program Statement 1351.06 § 10
INVESTIGATING A REQUEST FOR CORRECTION OF INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC
a. The investigation of a request will take into account the
process used to create and provide the information and the
conformity of the information to OMB and DOJ Information Quality
Guidelines.
b. Any corrective action will be determined by:
— the nature and timeliness of the information,
— the significance of the error,
— the magnitude of the error, and
— the cost of corrective action.
c. The Bureau will not respond to frivolous or repetitive
requests for correction of information nor to requests from
individuals who are not affected by the information.
d. Appeals to an initial request will be investigated and
responded to by an official at a level of review either above or
comparable to the level of the official who responded to the
initial request.
e. To ensure objectivity regarding influential statistical
information, the official investigating a request for correction
to such information may forward a request or appeal to the
statistical review committee in the DOJ’s Justice Management
Division.
